A little personal note...

I know, I know, it's been more than a month since my last post. But things have been pretty hectic here, add this to the fact that both my computer and scanner are out of order, and you'll get a much neglected blog. I hope to get back to daily blogging... or to weekly blogging, at least!

Today I'm posting only one picture. Just one, but truly meaningful to me for two different reasons.

The first reason is that I took this picture in 1999 in the city I currently live in, which wasn't home 'till 9 years ago. My family and I went here just for a visit. It was my mom, my dad, my sister, my dog and me. It was one of the few times we did some normal "family activity" all together, and one of my most cherished memories since my father died less than a year ago.

The second reason for this photo being so special to me is the place it was taken at itself. A place I visited again only last month, after so many years, with someone who just came into my life in recent times, becoming an important part of it, an essential part of me.

Who would have thought back then, when I was just a kid, that I was to lose so much so soon. And now, after so much grief, who would have dared to hope for such an immense blessing, so beautiful it almost scares me, so huge I feel dizzy just thinking about it.

There's no way to knowing what might happen in a few hours, days or years, and there's nothing I can do about that. All I know is I've never felt so happy, and I'd love this to last forever, but if it doesn't, I sure will have some more, wonderful memories to cherish. Forever.
